Thoughts on college, french ppl, etc.

College - scares me. I've been scared of the C-word since middle school, really. Why? Because it's like judgement day for me. It's the point where I can no longer put on a show for my parents and pretend to be intelligent. I either have it or I don't, and for my parents at least, it's shows through what college I get into. So it's the deciding point of whether or not my parents have raised an intelligent, hard working, worthy child. Obviously this isn't how I feel about college. College scares me because I'm used to working hard and achieving what I want, but this is not so for college. It's a crapshoot, we all know that. Even more so when you go to Saratoga High School and you're competing against 47 of your qualified classmates to get into Stanford early. And that's only early. Sigh. I think I'll just end up at a UC. I've also realized that college = a good chance I will never see some of my east coast friends ever again. That's always a pleasant feeling. Especially when you're PMSing. No, but what really is a pleasant feeling is thinking about my frenchies. I've figured out why I love them so much! Cuz they're nto caught up in the stupid bay area mentality of work-as-hard-as-possible-to-make-as-much-money-as-possible-because-this-is-the-only-way-i-can-be-successful-in-life. They're not the richest people in the world but still incredibally happy with their life. They're like my alma mater. I'm actually not quite sure what alma mater means.

Some other quick points in my life:
-My MIT interview went well. We talked about drinking and sneaking into guys dorms a little way too much, I think.
-I want to get more ear piercings and my nose pierced
-I want a tattoo of a dragon. Is that too asian?
-I got into orchestra, yay!
-Flute competition on Sat. Booo
-Birthday on Sun. The BIG 1 7. R rated movies, here I come.
